This is a picture of my kids on Canada Day (July 1st) on Parliament Hill in Ottawa with the RCMP (Mounties).
This sign is seen on the highways ~ better to see the sign, than the moose ~ they can do some serious damage to a car!
Every year my kids and I go back to Canada for 3-4 weeks, we always do the "Canadian" thing while there; ice skating, hockey, pictures with R.C.M.P, eating at Tim Horton's (a Cnd donut place). I have lived in the US for 18 years (I have dual citizenship) but have been able to go back to Ottawa every year but 2...as my kids have gotten older they have come to really enjoy the visits. The kids and I are very blessed; my parents live at N. Topsail Beach for 6 months in the winter and we go up to see them in Canada every summer - best of both worlds in my opinion!

I love the picture of your children in Canada, I have never been. Looks interesting and fun! It looks like your children are very active, the ice hockey picture, what a great sport. Sounds like you do have the best of both worlds, as your parents are here for 6 months, then you go visit them. Lucky!!! Great pictures and what a great sign!
ReplyDeletethanks for your comments Taylor. We are very active when we go up there...my son will play hockey once a week, the 3 of us will ice skate 3 times a week...and then we eat at all my favorite Cnd. restaurants afterwards :-) thankfully the activities burns off all the extra calories consumed!
ReplyDeleteThat really is the best of both worlds! I am surprising my husband in a week with a surprise trip to Topsail for his 30th birthday. He grew up in Wilmington, but in the last year we moved to Durham for work. We both miss the beach, and I hope he enjoys the surprise!
ReplyDeleteYour children are very lucky to be blessed with the opportunity of experiencing Canada. It is a beautiful country, and they look very excited to be there!
